Description

Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG adventure, set in a medieval world populated only by animals. You play as Tilo, a courageous minstrel mouse on a perilous quest to escape the jails of Dwindling Heights Keep and discover the fate of his true love Merra.
Armed with a mouse’s talent for stealth, agility and disguise - and a love of music - you'll explore the towers and dungeons of the keep, navigating its dangers and discovering its secrets. Dwindling Heights is a dangerous place for a little mouse, and Tilo's not much of a fighter. When confronted with enemies twice your size, nimbleness and guile are your allies. Talk to the characters you meet - make enemies and allies - and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra.

Review title of AkiavelliIt's a start

So far I made it to the outside part of the castle. Awesome art style by the way. The game only crashed once and I will expect more, same goes for glitches and bugs. People need to realize the fact that this game is in its early stage and won't always work. Being close minded and giving up on this game just because it has some major flaws won't let you appreciate what is there. The game is in the preview program, the description even says there will be problems. The consumer chose to play it, not forced to play it so people can't get negative on a game that clearly warns them about the current state it is in. I look forward to seeing what this game can do in the future.

Review title of Cuzzin aLJust a Beta so far, but still amazing!!

I don't know how far along into development this is, but it's already a must have for me. They took the familiar "hide and sneak" formula, and freshened it up with beautiful surroundings, and very interesting characters. The preview is a bit buggy, but that is absolutely okay. This game needed to be to be experienced. I cannot wait for the full release. This teaser left me anxious for more.

I am getting really excited to see the finished product. This reminds me so much of the Secret of Nimh that it is almost nostalgic. The art design is stunning. There are so many minute details that make this world so vivid and alive. I'm already a fan. You've got something special here.

demo needs to be a little longer, another 30 min would make up for long loads. really enjoyed the experience and will definitely support this preview game. its currently missing a few basic options like brightness (now added) but the game feels solid. with a good story and some game play tweeks this could be the next best rpg on xbox. with the brightness option added i give it 5.5 stars, it improved the feel by bounds and im noticing small details for the first time. aside from random bugs (to be expected) the game is a masterpiece, it is visibly stunning and the story is well thought out. it is a brand new word with lots of lore as if it existed in previous games.

One failure to boot and a somewhat lengthy load time at the very start isn't going to negatively effect my feelings about this game. I can honestly say this is hands down the best true indie I've ever played. Gorgeous character models, heart melting animation, breathtaking environments, rock solid mechanics, top notch writing, and minute-to-minute gameplay that is always engaging and most importantly fun. In a gaming world full licensed tie-in cash grabs, pay-to-win loot boxes, and forced dlc it's refreshing to see a truly ambitious title with this much heart and soul coming to the marketplace. To the team behind the lovely gem of a game I say: Thank you and I wish you the best of luck going forward with this title and any others you may work on in the future.

Review title of OptamyzeFantastic Stealth Adventure

For a game that's not even halfway done it's apparent what the developer has in mind. The detailed level design is surprisingly well adventured through the eyes of a mouse. Although you cannot attack you can scurry through tight corridors and around corners faster than the armored guards to hide and lose their attention. The graphics are the best I've seen on console. I honestly cannot wait for the final product.

I don't normally say things like this, but this game is truly beautiful. And I'm not just talking about the graphics. Everything about it is simply a joy to me. I will definitely be buying this when it's completed.

Review title of BluntForceBearA hit in the making.

This rating is solely based on my enjoyment I had while playing the game. Not taking into account the glitches the game still has as a work in progress. With that being said I think this game has the potential to be a hit. I really enjoyed the look and feel of the game and the controls are solid. The visuals and the graphics along with the atmosphere of the game made me feel like I was playing a Triple A title and it was very satisfying in the little time that I played. It's been awhile since I played a game where the more you play the more the game draws you in and the more harder it is to put the controller down. Maybe it's because the game reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons i watched when i was young called the secret of the NIMH maybe it's nostalgia clouding my judgement. Either way this is a great game I just hope the developers can find tune it's kinks before release. A word of advice if you play this game rate the game by How it makes you feel & not by the glitches.

Review title of RAPTURE1Awesome Preview Game gets full launch 3/12/2019

The game reminds me of the game Thief, it has rpg features with fun stealth game play, it has great animations, graphics, good AI , and the characters are funny. There is exploring , side quests , stealth and hiding as you figure out how to get by guards without dying. Really is a well designed game worth the price. It feels like you are playing a Disney character the animations are that good. With its full release the game has been updated, and any bugs have been fixed, game plays great, key to surviving is stealth, hiding, and always save often, because you will die. The game has many items, and outfits to collect, and use as you explore, and discover all lore of this fairy tale story on your journey. To the developer Thank You for sharing your vision , of a well done beautifully created adventure game with the gaming community, can't wait to see what future games you create.
